How to Get There

There are many outbound airport options from the UK if you are willing to factor in a stop. However, to travel effortlessly you will want to fly direct from either London Heathrow or Manchester. The direct route from Manchester to Singapore is operated by Singapore Airlines. From Heathrow, you can pick from multiple daily flights from Singapore Airlines, British Airways or a single daily flight from Qantas.

However, it is Singapore Airlines that consistently top global rankings for both business and first class cabins.
